don't blame me if i don't donate to charities anymore. following the NKF saga, we now have the Youth Challenge mystery. Seems like a cycle, where every few years, a few of these cases will all pop up at once. Who will be next? all the charities had better tighten their control.

how can the CEO of a charity earn an annual salary that amounts to 56% of the total income of the charity? Ridiculous. and he drives in a sports car, lives an a terrace house. and he bypasses all the necessary procedures required to withdraw money and stuff. Who will dare to donate to charities? or volunteer to charities anymore?

let's keep the volunteerism spirit up. These are probably the black sheep that have finally been uncovered. there are still truly needy ppl out there who needs just a little warmth in their lives. sounds cliched, but i think we cannot imagine what they go through and can only help in the best way we could.

and i m looking forward to the end of the week. i m rushing to get all my errands done and spend some time with family and friends before cny comes. before mid terms come. cny is another time to spend with loved ones, after which, is the due dates for projects and presentations. the 2nd semester of the academic year is always the more tensed one as we let loose our guard with cny festivities in the air.

uncle dell is coming in T-H-R-E-E weeks. :)

and my LTM class, for which i am a teaching assistant, has been a delight to me thus far. I m enjoying myself, and siu is enjoying listening to me telling her all about my LTM lessons. and so far, i have learnt a lot from my group (lol-lings or little-lings). plenty of work to do still!!!

went shopping with mama and brother today. very very very rare we get to go out together and just enjoy cruising in the car. my mum is stressed and has slimmed down quitue a bit. she has been working till 2-3am. any cucumbers for her eye bags? what i learn from her is her passion in her work. and i guess that is what keeps her goign and fuels her energy. we shd all live passionately once.

alright. back to audit. auditors are more often than not, stingy, particular, picky and i-dunno-what. i dunno to become like that. argh.
